Wetshaving rites of passage

I had a shave with the famous Arko piss stick last night, suddenly I was having breakfast with my mother this morning.
She tells me that I smell like a pissy homeless man, suddenly she asked me, if, I'm broke and needed some money.

I told my mother no, I'm not bloody broke or going homeless, I told her to blame it on Arko.
She had idea what the hell is Arko, I told her to google it, after about 20mins searching on her phone, she said what is a piss stick?
She said why are you buying urinal cake shaving Turkish soap, I told her it's a lemony scour smell. She said it's smell kinda off in a good way, but, it does smell like a homeless bastard lazy pri 🤬 ck.

I told my mother I needed Arko to get rid of the bloody mosquitoes during summer wet/dry season, she said to me, no wonder you're still a sweaty bastard.
Face it Speedy, you stink! 🤮
 
I was wondering what are the various activities and experiences that are common enough across places and culttures to qualify as general rites of passage? Things that we almost all have, or perhaps will have, encountered at some point...

Some starters:
  • Been shaved by a barber
  • Shaved with Arko
  • Shaved yourself raw in pursuit of a perfect BBS
  • Gone out in public wearing Lilac Vegetal
  • Suffered a conspicuous wound immediately before an important appearance
  • Found a cache of $product that had been completely forgotten
  • Dropped a near full bottle of aftershave on a tile floor
They don't all have to be unfortunuate, of course. What else counts? :)
Never been shaved by a barber.
Absolutely love ARKO, but I use the hard puck version.
Pursuit of perfect BBS is a fools errand.
The Veg is my #1 aftershave!
I don't bleed from shaving.
I know what I have.
Never drop any shaving related products.


Speedy needs to bathe. 🤢😵‍💫
